Mother and brother of Jennifer Hudson were found shot dead Friday at a South Side home, and police were looking for a missing 7-year old child who is the nephew of Hudson. The boy had not been located.
A man, William Balfour suspected in the deaths of Darnell Donerson, 57 (Jennifer’s mother) and Jason Hudson, 29 (Hudson’s brother) and was in custody Friday night but Julian King’s whereabouts were not known.
The murders appeared to be the result of domestic abuse. Jennifer’s father died when he was a teenager and she has described herself as being very close to her family.
In an interview last year with Vogue, Hudson credited her mother with encouraging her to audition for “American Idol,” which launched her career.
Our prayers and condolences go out to Jennifer Hudson and her family. We hope her nephew will return home safely and justice will be served.
